At some point you have to stop and ask: "Just what is it that EV's are supposed to be saving us from?" There is one question that is never addressed that would expose the "climate crisis" for the scam that it is, which is "What percentage of the atmosphere is CO2?" The answer, never given in plain language, is that CO2 is currently around 420 parts per million, (google it) increased, they tell us, from 280 ppm in 1850. That's a difference of 140 ppm, or in terms more readily understood by the layman, the composition of the atmosphere has changed by 0.014% (14 thousandths of 1%) in the last 170 years. LESS THAN 1 THOUSANDTH OF 1% PER DECADE! How much closer to "zero" do they think it's possible to get? How gullible do you have to be to believe that this rate of change is causing extreme weather events, which have always happened and always will? Their claim is that this tiny amount "traps heat". ALL gasses dissipate heat and even if CO2 is an exception, the suggestion that a total of 0.042% can overwhelm the capacity of the remaining 99.958% to dissipate that heat is abject nonsense. CO2 DOES NOT control the global temperature, there is no "climate crisis". Wind farms, solar panels, heat pumps, EV's.. None of these measures are necessary, nor will they have the slightest effect on the weather. Eye-watering sums of money have already been wasted on this futile exercise. Time to wake up, stop throwing our money at these boondoggles and squandering the world's resources on projects that cannot possibly succeed as there never was a problem to begin with. There is no need to save the planet from a minuscule increase in the gas on which all life depends, but it does need to be rescued from idiot politicians and media mouthpieces that push this garbage.

@chrishar110 2 күн бұрын
That's what you say, I can say that they will pay the extra cost in 2-3 years. They can be used 24/7 because even if they have two drivers that work on 12 hours shifts, the drivers need time to brief-debrief (30 minsper shift), do their checks (min 30 more min per shift), they need breaks (at least 45 mins for a normal 9 driving hours shift and a 12 hours shift) and they need time at the bays to load-unload. At my job we make 12 hours shifts but we drive 5-8 hours max. All the rest is working or waiting time. Newer batteries last for over 300k miles and even if they have a faulty cell they can replace that faulty cell pretty cheap and can returm to the depot the naxt day. If you have thousands of EV trucks you can invest in these things and minimise the costs. Absolutely usefull, finally we won't stuck on our bikes or walking, in center of cities, behind a lorry and breath pure cancer.

0:42 "decarbonisation" is a tragic error for UK Net Zero, which I hope someone in a suit will spot soon. There are lots of very carbon-intensive applications (aviation, marine, defence are good examples) which we should be NetZeroing *first*. The obvious way to do that is to renewably synthesise their fuels. Renewable synthesis won't be cheap (it'll be domestic instead of imported), but *price performance advantage* is what should be determining consumer choice instead of the soviet-style diktat we've got now. If we started with gas for our power stations, it would make EVs properly NetZero instead of 'pretend NetZero' while they're being charged from the output of fossil-fuelled power stations.
@Simon-dm8zv Ай бұрын
Yes, some applications will require synthetic fuels, but it is not necessary to give priority to that at all. The vast majority of road vehicles will become battery electric because it is simply the most efficient solution. Every EV on the road directly saves hundreds of tons of CO2.
@trs4u Ай бұрын
@@Simon-dm8zv It *is* necessary to give it priority because the EV saving isn't as great as it could be while we still generate electricity with fossil gas. The EV efficiency advantage over ICE isn't that great - we could have achieved a similar drop in CO₂ emissions in the UK by mandating slightly smaller/lighter cars. I doubt that would have met as much resistance (with consumers) as "you must have EV". The goal is NetZero, not NetABitLess. The better efficiency argument is undeniable - I think people who can realise it without added cost would have bought EVs anyway.

@@trs4u EVs are considerably more efficient than combustion engine cars, even if compared to small combustion engine cars. So that wouldn’t come close at all.

@@Simon-dm8zv "considerably" isn't nearly as much as some people think, often after they've had a look at comparisons based on model, global, or somewhere-else data. EVs are more efficient. In the UK the same reduction available from enforced EVs could have been obtained by enforcing lower kerb weights on vehicles - that's how little the difference is given that a large part of our electricity is fossil-generated in a way that's very difficult to reduce. UK has many, many times more renewable potential in offshore wind (and pretty much nothing else) than our entire economy needs. Closing the got-wind/burn-gas gap has an obvious answer.
